It was downloaded from cmpc1.phys.soton.ac.uk:/pub/gnuplot-beta340.tar.gz 
(1070158 bytes).  I have applied manually the following three small patches:

  1. the patch correcting an "off-by-one" error while reading data (fixing #6923):
     (sed "402s/len-1/len/g" < datafile.c > z.c; mv -f z.c datafile.c)
  2. the patch to compile cleanly on glibc2 binary-alpha architecture (fixing #13763):
     (sed "466s/ERROR)$/ERROR) \&\& \!defined(__GLIBC__)/g" < util.c > z.c; mv -f z.c util.c)
  3. the patch to compile cleanly gnuplot latex tutorial  on a `gnuplot-clean' machine (fixing #17207):
     (cd docs/latextut; sed "44s/gnuplot/..\/..\/gnuplot/g" < Makefile.in > z; mv -f z Makefile.in)

Only the first patch is important for the users.  Upstream maintainers 
have already decided that the patch will be included as such in the next 
official gnuplot release.  In order to help out the users, the patch is 
already applied in this debian package.
